Elections held for Peć and Priština

"I must have missed out the lection [sic] campaing for potential candidates that were running for Mayors of Prishtina and Peja. Where was I ???"

-- Apparently not in Gracanica.

"Let me remind my unsuspecting readers that Pec and Prishtina are not controlled by Serbia but yet people are running elections"

-- Pay more attention to things on the ground. "Pristina" today for Serbs = Gracanica. Until Gracanica becomes a municipality of its own, it's local leaders symbolically represent "Pristina". Though the Albanian mayor of Pristina needn't worry too much about a shadow government. Most of these Serbs will congregate in one of the generator-run kafane in the center of Gracanica.

"Smart move, we need a laugh here and there."

-- The fact that Hash and the rest of the gang can't even control what's happening 5 km from their capital, and are probably being told to keep quiet by EULEX is the real laugh at what passes for sovereignty in "Kosova".

My goodness the two characters above really are upset about all this. If they felt confident in the affairs of their so-called republic, they wouldn't feel the need to post sarcastic comments. Or is it that they're so insecure about the last remaining Serbs in their midst, that they feel compelled to ridicule their democratic right to vote. Presumably when there are no more Serbs left to hate, you will then turn on one another. Time will tell.

Laughing and laughing. Let me remind my unsuspecting readers that Pec and Prishtina are not controlled by Serbia but yet people are running elections... funny and sad at the same time,,,..

What elections???
I must have missed out the lection campaing for potential candidates that were running for Mayors of Prishtina and Peja. Where was I ???

"We had the power to rule the world---until our parents made us come home for supper."

Yeah but I think in terms of Gorazdevac, the kids aren't being called in for supper because they're out of ear-shot, and the kids in Gracanica don't need to be called in for supper because they already ordered Chinese.

"Do you really think that's the case Mike. Couldn't it be that maybe its not worth it to go and start a quarrel with those 70 people that are voting in Gracanica. I mean all you need to do is send 140 people to take control there. Is that really worth it? Isn't it better to let them have them their make believe elections and in the next UNSC meeting it can shown that they had their process peacefully but we have also something to complain about."

Well I'd say it's more a case of the former than the latter. Particularly with Gorazdevac, it's really not in the interest of Pristina to interfere. How many Serbs are there? 1000? What's the likelihood it will be sustainable for more than two more generations? This isn't worth their while.

Gracanica on the other hand really is something largely out of Pristina's hands, despite your claim that it would take less than 150 Albanians to bring it to order. KEK couldn't even get them to comply with electric bills, and since it's high on the international radar, it also doesn't do Pristina any good trying to force a large area of 10,000 Serbs under its belt. You seem to think that Pristina's passivity is equated to some form of leniency when most signs simply point to impotent illegitimacy. It's not that hard to understand: Serbs have no control over what Albanians do and Albanians have no control over what Serbs do, and EULEX really isn't intersted in forcing the two sides together, despite the soundbytes that make the news headlines.

" The Kosovo institutions oppose the elections, but will not try to stop them. "

Smart move, we need a laugh here and there.

How come Albanians aren't on the voting lists? If Kosovo je Srbja and Albanians are Serbian citizens...

"i cant understand why kosovo special police dont storm these locations where the elections where held and arrest all serbs that participate in these illegall elections that would be a work of 30 minutes
(dan-ch, 16 August 2009 21:39)"

Because dan-ch, that would represent the same type of brutality and fascistic tendencies of government you are trying to convince us were the reasons for Kosovo's need to break away from the rest of Serbia. Logic is something blind nationalists more often than not lack.

Reminds me of when I was a kid. 4-5 of us would form a club and we would hold elections and elect a president.

Does Kosovo have "special" police?

If your special police can't investigate crimes committed right under their noses, how special are they?

Is brutality the only way you know how to argue?

So many comments from our ethnic Albanian citizens on something so "irrelevent" to them. This is what we call parallel institutions and they are being held for the Serbians, not our ethnic Albanians citizens. The reason being our offer of self-rule in our more than autonomy, less than independence proposal. You rule your own and we'll rule the rest.

Hey mike from the serb camp ever heard of being tolerant? I hope you don't think that Kosovar politicians can't stop this, but it would be a flaw, we aren't Milosevic (or his supporters).

It's time for you to be courtesy and extend the hand right back by allowing Kosova Election voting in Bujanoc & Presheva Valley.

If Kosova is Serbiaj where is the list of Albanian voters? Do you still believe the lie coming from Belgrade.

The length that Belgrade would go to lie to its people.

Ruben in NYC,

A thief and his accomplices can only rejoice for so long, but in the end justice will be served. Remember who waited longer than some countries existence to be liberated from a foreign yoke.

This is another pathetic attempt to destabilise and provoke Kosovo and his people.

Kosovo is independent and as earlier as possible Belgrade will accept it, the region will be peaceful and stable.

Let's wait for the final turnout numbers.

If Gracanica's population is 10000 and Gorazdevac 1000, how come the list of voters was over 25000 in Graqanica and 8000 in Gorazhdevac? It looks loke we are missing out of total 22000 eligable voters. I wonder if these people are located at the yellow house in Albania?

To all,

PLEASE REMIND THAT KOSOVO IS A SERBIAN PROVINCE!

Kosovo is not an independent state. It can become one, but ONLY by mutual agreement. Like Slovakia!

I think you all at the Balkan are wasting time! Stop creating new states and new problems!

I am pretty sick of paying for your bad behaviour!

"If they felt confident in the affairs of their so-called republic, they wouldn't feel the need to post sarcastic comments."

Oh, c'mon ... if Serbians decided to run their own elections in Chicago or Toronto for the city council, I imagine commenters there would also poke fun at them. Especially with such a turn-out for the big event.

Did You see refugee camps in central Serbia?? There live 150 thousands refugees from Kosovo. You can find this 22000 peoples from voter lists in this camps.
